Wicked 2D Artist Wanted

If you are an artist that yearns to have your art style define the games we make, then you should reach out to us. You’ll create concept sketches, mock ups, to finished production-ready art to be used in a game. You’ll work on creating game characters, interface, and even help design our website, and marketing materials. The game you’ll be working on is a 2D art based RPG, planned for release initially on the PC, and iPad.

This position starts as a contractor position with potential to go full-time.

CREDENTIALS:

Illustration experience in Photoshop or Painter; Illustrator or Flash experience a plus.

Must have an artstyle that is colorful and cartoony in flavor. We’re not talking about Disney cute cartoons. More like X-Men mixed with Anime and a dash of silliness from Happy Tree Friends.

Strong character and environment design skills

Willingness to mentor and share your skills and experience with other team members

Should have shipped several game titles. Strong passion for gaming.

Ability to take direction well and to play well with others

A desire to grow your skills and experience with the team

Wicked Loot is an indie studio built by game industry vets who yearn to get their hands dirty with creating games from the ground up. We believe in sharing in the upside, so all employees have a stake in the profit for the games they work on. We work in small teams, so you’ll always feel like you have a say in what we create. Please note that all positions are ideally based in our office in the bay area (that’s Cali!) We have a flexible work environment, and you can often work from home, but you do need to live locally as we often huddle up and work out our ideas.
